Is my cat having a bad dream?

My sweet Siamese, the most lovable little kissy face, likes to sleep on the sofa. Every now and then I will hear a hissing noise and she will jump.

What is going on? Is she having an unpleasant dream? She is always affectionate after she has opened her eyes.

If she were coming at me, I’d run, but she just stays where she is.

Still, it is a bit startling.

Animals get nightmares just like people do, especially my dog. She starts twitching, growling, and whining. I’m sure hissing and jumping are the cat equivilants.

Whatever is living in the sofa is biting little Kissy Face while she sleeps. When it gets big enough it will drag her, twitching and hissing, into the depths of the sofa, never to be seen again.

This reminds me of a joke.

Little Johnny is sitting in a biology class,and the teacher says that an interesting phenomenon of nature is that only humans stutter, no other animal in the world does this.

Johnny’s hand shoots up. “Not correct, Miss!” he says.

“Please explain, Johnny,” replies the teacher.

“Well, Miss, the other day I was playing with my cat on the
verandah. The neighbours’ Great Dane came around the corner, and my cat went “ffffffffff! ffffffffffff! ffffffffff!”, and before he could say “FUCK OFF!”, the dog ate him!”

THAT reminds me of another joke.

Little Tim was in the garden filling in a hole when his
neighbor peered over the fence.
Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to,
he politely asked, “What are you up to there, Tim?”
“My goldfish died,” replied Tim tearfully, without looking up, “and I’ve just buried him.”
The neighbor was concerned, “That’s an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn’t it?”

Tim patted down the last heap of earth then replied, “That’s
because he’s inside your stupid cat.”

Those are great. Know any more jokes?

I believe she is mocking you, TC.
